A Drop of Time

Some people are so hard
Nothing gets through their skin
Nothing goes in too far

But I&apos ve never been that tough
The mysteries of this world are quite enough

Anyone can see that I&apos m
In a drop of time
Like the sun that lies so low
In the wintertime

Things are moving slowly here
You can&apos t go outside
Sitting by the window
Waiting for a sign

By the way, did I say
That in this solid world, I&apos m just melting away

I have come to a place in my life
Where the stream opens up to a river
And as I flow along to the ocean
I see you wave goodbye from the shore

You choose a path that leads to the mountains
Where your dreams all wait to be born
And I can&apos t go
This river of longing just pushes me on

And I feel so lonely
I might drown here all alone
But I know
The sea will take me
Into its arms
The sea will take me
Into its arms
Naked on my own
Naked on my own
Naked on my own

I can feel myself moving forward
But my eyes look back where I&apos ve been
And I don&apos t swim
I&apos m only just drifting
Up to my chin

And you say you almost went under
That my currents flow much too strong
And you don&apos t belong
In the river beside me
Or even this song

And I feel so lonely
I might drown here all alone
But I know
The sea will take me
Into its arms
The sea will take me
Into its arms
Naked on my own
Naked on my own
Naked on my own
